Career Struggles
Shelley Duvall faced many problems in her life, especially with her mental health. This became very public after a 2016 interview on “Dr. Phil,” where she made strange claims.
Many people criticized the show for taking advantage of her instead of helping her. Duvall retired from acting in 2002 and moved to Texas with her partner, Dan Gilroy.
Stressful events, like the 1994 Northridge earthquake, contributed to her decision to leave Hollywood and live a more private life.
Addictions
Shelley Duvall faced significant struggles with addiction and financial instability. In the 1970s and 1980s, she lost over $1.3 million on poker and Vegas parties.
Her drug use escalated after her four-year marriage ended, leading to further financial losses as people around her took advantage of her vulnerable state, swindling nearly $1 million of her earnings.
